Dawn Farm Ride for Recovery (cycling/running event April 2017)

The Ride for Recovery is a family- fun fitness event with opportunities to participate at various fitness levels, including 10 K, 25 mile, 40 mile, and 100 K bike rides and a 5K/10K run/walk. Routes are along scenic, country roads and through a local Metro Park. There will be rest stops positioned along the routes with restroom facilities, drinks, snacks and First Aid. SAG support will offer participants assistance on all routes. The event is supported by Team MANA, a team of nurse anesthetists in Michigan who raise awareness and funds for various organizations through cycling. This event has been officially endorsed annually by the Michigan Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Health and Sport; endorsement for 2017 is in process. The event will include breakfast snacks and a Recovery Celebration Lunch.

In addition to a fitness event that the entire family can enjoy, the Ride for Recovery provides an opportunity to support a critical community service. Founded in 1973, Dawn Farm provides effective, compassionate and hope-filled professional care to members of our community who struggle with alcohol or drug addiction. Dawn Farm's continuum of services includes residential treatment, detoxification services, outpatient treatment, transitional housing, and community outreach programs. Dawn Farm is committed to helping people find recovery, regardless of their ability to pay. Community support for events like the Ride for Recovery helps to keep these vital services available for those who need them most!

This is a great idea. A life-affirming theme and cause. I would feel comfortable supporting this ride and this organization.
